On June 3, 2008, then-CEO of General Motors Rick Wagoner announced the closing of four GM plants, one of which was in Moraine, Ohio, in suburban Dayton. By the end of that year, the plant would leave 1,100 employees without jobs. Area filmmakers Steve Bognar and Julia Reichert (Emmy winners for their documentary 'A Lion in the House') immediately responded to the announcement of the closing, setting up interviews with plant workers and spending as much time with them as possible getting to know the people and their stories.
